In this course you will learn how to exploit interpretation techniques to spot exploration opportunities, such as bypassed pay and new resources in existing fields. You will learn how to improve dynamic simulation modelling through integration of petrophysical data. You will study advanced permeability and capillary saturation models, and construction.

Through dynamic modelling, you gain an advanced understanding of applied reservoir petrophysics and characterization using integration of data at the pore scale. You learn how to exploit interpretation techniques to spot exploration opportunities, such as bypassed pay and new resources in existing fields. You learn how to improve dynamic simulation modelling through integration of petrophysical data. You study advanced permeability and capillary saturation
